Desiccation tolerance refers to the ability of an organism to withstand or endure extreme dryness, or drought-like conditions.n the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster, flies selected for desiccation resistance also yielded higher amounts of hemolymph. Higher hemolymph volume is linked to an increase in carbohydrates, in particular trehalose, a common sugar found in many plants and animals with high desiccation resistance.
